Explore the Atherton Tablelands on a full-day tour from Cairns featuring rainforest walks, gourmet tastings, wildlife encounters, and stunning waterfalls.
Embark on a full-day adventure through the Atherton Tablelands, discovering lush rainforests, gourmet flavours, and charming country hospitality.
Depart from your Cairns or Northern Beaches accommodation and travel to Kuranda Village, where you'll enjoy a guided rainforest walk at Barron Falls and stunning canopy views. Continue to Skybury Plantation for morning tea with fresh scones, Skybury coffee, and papaya juice.
Learn about tropical farming and roasting before heading to Granite Gorge, home to the rare Unadorned Rock Wallabies.
Next, visit Mt. Uncle Distillery, North Queensland's first and most awarded distillery, to sample premium spirits and liqueurs crafted from local botanicals. At Gallo Dairyland, a working dairy and cheese factory, enjoy a light lunch with tastings of cheeses and handcrafted chocolates while learning about the art of artisan production.
The afternoon reveals the Tablelands' natural and cultural treasures, including the ancient Curtain Fig Tree, the volcanic Bromfield Crater, and the historic township of Malanda. Capture photos at the picturesque Millaa Millaa Falls, then finish the day surrounded by tropical serenity at Crater Lakes National Park - where you can swim, stroll through rainforest trails, or simply relax with afternoon refreshments.
